Dear anonymous sender,
I'm Daniel J. Lennox, and I'm the new executive manager of Bristol Constructions & Manufacturing. I'd like to know who I'm actually dealing with, because even shadow dealings are based on mutual trust and nameless persons can boast no credibility on which to base serious business deals off. You may also attach to your introduction a draft of what you would require from my company.
I will also ask for more discretion next time. Flat-out messaging my employees in Pennsylvania is not the best way to build relationships, especially with a group like yours, while being under Liberty's watchful eye in the system. It has caused a lot of wrinkles in the forehead of my HR department as a lot of those employees were distressed by the event. You will only send your messages and queries to me and my employees I designated for the task, no one else. Do we understand each other?
Have a pleasant and productive day,
Daniel J. Lennox,
Bristol C&M.

Why hello there, Senor Lennox.
I am Vin Chenzo of the Maltese nation, an Outcast.
One must admit that I initially found it amusing that your staff became distressed with my methods of contact, however as you continued to explain I gained a greater understanding and of course, more respect for the gravity of the situation.
I will note though, the level of encryption is absolute and the only way anything could have leaked from my methods would have been down to your units discretion on their end.
Regardless, please accept my most humble apologies. It is I reaching out to you, after all.
Going forwards, I will fully accept your terms in the methods of which we are to communicate, they are more than acceptable.
Assuming I have satisfied your request on methods going forwards, please allow me to extend my further thanks for such a swift response.
With my request, I'll be as snappy as I can:
I'd like a number of commodities and items which possess no illegality, but I cannot obtain myself. I can either collect them from where you advise they are available, or you can deliver them to a mutual location.
I can offer more than credits, senor. I imagine every now and then your units run into the Rogues and Hackers, possibly even the Xeno's too for which I may be able to grease their palm in your favour of being left alone, if that makes sense?
Whilst of course I have never spoken to any of these factions regarding yourselves, upon favourable business I'm sure we can all reach an understanding.
Your terms of discretion mean I need not put forward any security conditions, I'm sure there will be no record of anything after we've done listening. Again, it's 100% secure from my side.

Mr. Chenzo,
Since your people have been valued customers for the Bristol Constructions & Manufacturing in the past and I'm not going to change anything about that at this time dispite your previous little hiccup. Pirates like the Lane Hackers and Liberty Rogues do pose some risk to my employees, not to mention fees they'll take from any profits from my people as the protection money, so getting them off our backs for a while would be useful.
I'm intrigued by your offer, but I'd like to know more - what commodities will be involved, where do you want them delivered and what is your preliminary financial offer?
Have a pleasant and productive day,
Daniel J. Lennox,
Bristol C&M.
10,000 Magnetic Superconductors
10,000 Fusion Diodes
I have something much bigger in mind after, but for now these commodities will do.
We can meet you in space as close to the Freeport Tau-37 as possible, if your units know where that is?
Otherwise, we'll meet you wherever needs be. Perhaps these commodities can be collected from your station, Cleveland? I’d merely hand you details of various transponders to be allowed to dock for collection?
As for payment? Name your reasonable price, senor.

Mr. Chenzo,
The handover will need to take place in Tau-37 - and yes, my company knows where that is. After all, we've built a station for the Outcasts in the past. Cleveland in Pennsylvania is not possible because of local authorities and the legal complications it might bring to my company.
The cost of our services will 30,000,000 credits. Expect to have to make multiple handovers as we generally operate smaller transports that are faster and more agile in such remote systems.
Have a pleasant and productive day,
Daniel J. Lennox,
Bristol C&M.
You must forgive me as I was simply not aware that your units were already so well acquainted with Maltese space.
To make things easier for your delivery, I've added your transponders callsign "B|-" to the docking rights to Maltese airspace within Omicron Alpha for which the goods are to be delivered to instead, I'm sure that makes things much easier. If not, advise and we can revert to Tau-37.
Name the callsign for the cost of delivery and I'll have the funds wired immediately.
After this initial stage, I have much more profitable work for you which falls more in line with your companies unique and highly skilled capabilities.
Oh senor, before I forget to mention; I have already taken the liberty of communicating with the forces previously mentioned. It wasn't exactly straight forward but you should have no harm from them. If you do, let me know and I'll see what can be done.

Mr. Chenzo,
I have received a report that our ships have finished the first half of your request - 10,000 units of Magnetic Superconductors has been delivered to your base at Malta's orbit, Commercio Fantasma. Visual confirmation - #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5.
Have a pleasant and productive day,
Daniel J. Lennox,

Thank you for the deliveries, it's been some time since I've seen ships like the ones deliveries were completed in. I think quite possibly a first within Maltese space, at least to my recollection.
The supplies are most useful, my workers will jump on it immediately.
